It's hard to find a dumb TV with other up-to-date features like 4k, HDR, etc. I have a so-called smart TV but use it like a dumb one, i.e. a monitor. I wish large monitors were affordable.

@godzero @goldstein I looked everywhere for a dumb tv last time around and it didn't make financial sense. In the end I did the same as you by the sounds of things, just bought a smart tv, but basically locked it to a streaming dongle and use none of the inbuilt features.

I plugged the TV into the AVR and did NOT connect it to the network. Sources are a Roku box, MacBook, Android phone, PS5 (incl Blu Ray) and a NAS.

@godzero @goldstein LG G3 works perfectly with no internet access as a dumb monitor. Has 4K HDR, etc, and is relatively cheap right now as they are pushing the G4. Just hook an Apple TV up to it and you're good to go.

@godzero @goldstein I bought a nice 1080 dumb screen with a reasonable set of inputs and decent color, called it a day. After weighing the options, 4k and HDR weren't worth it to me when 90% of my content is neither.
